Rack Systems

[BHReptiles]

Hello! I currently have 2 corn snakes and 1 ball python (I've got plans to get a double het albino/piebald male and a het albino female) that are currently living in tanks. I'm looking to get a rack system because where I'm moving to, I'll only have access to one bedroom and it will save on space. My question is what brand of rack system would yall recommend? I know there are various ones out there like Animal Plastics, Boaphile, etc, but what would yall recommend would be the best rack system? I'm looking for a rack system that's big enough to hold ideally 7-10 adult ball pythons/corn snakes (because I just know my collection will be that big soon enough).

Have you looked into building your own? Me and my bf have two custom racks and they work just fine (pretty cheap to make too, and the thermostat and flexwatt for each was about ~$150) and he made them to fit the tubs we were already using (we have a 28qt rack and another for bigger tubs).

Animal Plastics or Reptile Basics are the only brands worth considering IMO.

I suggest having separate racks for your BP's and corn snakes.

I have thought about it and I was actually going to build my own custom vivarium (it was going to be 4ft long and 6ft high and house 3 pythons and 4 corn snakes). However, I'm moving at the end of the month and ideally need something set up for when my animals get all moved in around August 10th. I'm just afraid that I won't have the time to actually build one (as much as I want to) while I'm trying to finish up summer school, graduate, and move. Purchasing a premade rack saves me a little time. I'm willing to pay the extra for convenience simply because I'd rather have it set up by the time my snakes arrive so I'm not stressing them by moving their enclosures all the time.

And yes, I plan on purchasing 2, one for the pythons and one for the corns due to temp differences.

We got a rack from Boaphile and love it, so do the snakes. But for the large cages that I will need for my Boa and Retic I will build those myself
